Jackson lives on in new album ‘Xscape’

MICHAEL Jackson returns this month from the musical grave for a second time, with a new posthumous album aimed at resurrecting his star power, five years after his untimely death.

Critics have already hailed “Xscape” a clear improvement on 2010’s “Michael,” the first album released after Jackson died of a drug overdose at age 50, as part of a multi-record deal with label giant Sony.

The new album’s songs include one about child sex abuse, the issue which helped bring down the self-styled King of Pop, despite being acquitted of sexual molestation charges in 2005.

The singer’s executors have worked hard to pay off the enormous debts left by the fallen star.

“Xscape” comprises eight songs chosen from the vast catalogue which Jackson worked on, but which did not make it into albums like “Thriller” or “Bad.”
